Penguins mess with camera, appear to pose for selfie

(UPI) A pair of penguins were captured on camera appearing to pose for a selfie in Antarctica after one of the aquatic birds discovered the filming device.

The footage, filmed at the Auster Rookery near Australia's Mawson research station, was shared on Twitter by the Australian Antarctic Division.

The penguins are seen tilting the camera over and examining it in a way that makes them appear to be taking a selfie together. The video also gives viewers a close view of the penguins and their facial features.
